However, freestanding bathtubs do require more spacious bathtubs and, if you have a smaller bathroom space, you should go for a corner type of tub in order to make the best out of your free space. But if your bathroom space is not an issue, you can definitely go for a freestanding bathtub as this type of tub can make your space look more elegant.

Freestanding bathtubs can be simple soaking ones, contemporary, pedestal mounted, claw-footed or even come with whirlpools.
